The Facebook Global Monitor is a premium service and newsletter produced by Inside Facebook that provides vital data and insight to media industry executives, global marketing and communications firms, analysts, and developers for whom Facebook’s rapid international expansion poses significant opportunities or threats.

Facebook’s growth continued at a torrid pace in February. 73% of Facebook’s growth came internationally, and there were well over 100 million users active on Facebook in the last month from outside the US. For further background, take a look at how Facebook grew in some countries around the world last year like Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland, Argentina, and Indonesia.
